In 1980, British journalist David Hunn wrote of Tourischeva, “(she) never had the cheek of some of her rivals, but for serenity she was supreme.” Indeed, she was renowned for her cool head in competition. In one of Tourischeva’s most well-known performances, the 1975 World Cup at Wembley Stadium in London, all people were amazed by the loud sound of the broken metal hook, which held support cables. The uneven bars literally fell apart and crashed to the ground at the end of her routine, right as she completed her dismount. Tourischeva saluted the judges, and calmly walked off the podium without even turning around to look at the remains of the apparatus. She went on to win the all-around and every single event final gold. After many years she said, that at that moment she remembered only one thing - she must complete her routine and “stick it”. Her trainer Vladislav Rastorotsky said about her: “Ljudmila would fight to death in any situation”.
